"The latest news of Banksy"

[For technical problems the link of notice of periodic don´t is in this text, but the title of the notice is: "Bansky sells original works worth a fortune for 38 £ each in New York stand" www.theguardian.com]

The artist Bansky (sidewalk artist) decides included his work  the market, his works are worth much money.
But the story is different in your case, because he put a stand pop-up in Central Park on Saturday (he artist currently lives in New York, EE.UU).

The artist writing on his website he said: "Yesterday I set up a stall in the park selling 100% authentic original signed Banksy canvases. For $60 [£38] each."

Besides these words, the artist  released a video of  two and a half minutes where an old man appeared that seemed to be selling imitations of Banksy, but were indeed authentic Banksy canvas.

This is the ultimate publicity stunt Banksy. His exhibition in live entitled "Better Out Than In" corresponds to a residence on the streets of New York, and that it does is create a new piece of work every day.

I must say that Banksy is a very controversial artist (out of this summary) from the beginning of his career. His interventions in the street are very denotative, and in many cases quite critical. Work with the stencil is to work with a graphical technique, belonging the street language. Work on the street is to mark territory, is to demonstrate that he exist in the world, and to create a world within a other world. I love to Banksy,
but I think he did wrong in appear in the world as a artist,  must have been an unknown, his work would have been magical forever.
